As a local Austin hospitality developer and operator and had the good fortune of meeting and working with Jonathan in 2021-21. Our task was tore-calibrate our restaurants in the post covid world and position ourselves for continued growth and success. This included management and employee restructuring, food and bar menu analysis, as well as kitchen redesign and execution. Jonathan has the rare skill set and talents to be able to both get the big picture, sweat the details along with the personality to implement the people side of the business with amazing touch. I can’t wait for our next project!

David Jones CEO, Blueridge Restaurant Group, LLC
By engaging with Jonathan, we were able to accomplish many of the things we simply didn’t have time and in some cases the expertise for– yet he provided a one stop shop to accomplish those goals. Working with Jonathan truly feels that you’re working with a partner who’s invested in your business, and this is a relationship that I hope to maintain for years to come because the care and energy that Jonathan brings to the table is truly unmatched. He was able to bring consistent systematic excellence to our operations within the first six months of working together and provided us with the tools to implement changes that have had a lasting impact and will ensure our newly implemented standards are maintained in the future. We have worked with Jonathan for almost two years on several initiatives. He takes a logical and curious approach to make lasting and permanent change. With his help, we implemented operational checklists and efficiencies that guide the management and hourly teams from the moment they walk in the door to the moment theyl eave the building, so that no rock is left unturned. Not only does he have the systems but he has the relationships with vendors who will support the implementation process. In terms of service, we were able to roll out effective training material, and provide managers with delineated areas of responsibility so that one single person is never overwhelmed, and trainees are not only guided appropriately but assessed properly prior to being promoted into their sales driving roles. Jonathan truly has an incredible amount of experience and resources, and does not hesitate to push up his sleeves and dive in with the team, to drive results.
